People are sick to death of the mealy mouthed excuses we hear from our party no matter how many times we get them elected. What utter nonsense to suggest that Dems should act like Miss Manners. We do not want or need leaders who are afraid to stand up and fight for the people they represent.

The people are sick of excuses, they have heard them all. They want to hear no talk of compromising on SS, Medicare, Medicaid or any talk of connecting SS to the Deficit which is a lie and which most people know by now.

Or any hint no matter how cleverly they think they are phrasing it, of any kind of policy that is even a baby step towards the privatization of SS. We are not stupid, we know the language. The only statements acceptable at this point, are the ones made by Bernie Sanders. He has no problem being clear on these issues. Democrats should have no problems either.
